Everyone knows that technology changes extremely rapidly nowadays, but what do you do with the old technology that is no longer relevant? How about making them into awesome works of art?
Lyota Yagi is a Japanese artist who has taken his love for music to a new new level. He has developed a number of art pieces that incorporate outdated music formats such as vinyls records, cassette tapes and even CDs!
Our favourite is titled “Circuit,” which consists of a portable vinyl player (designed by Yagi himself) and the track that it runs on creating an endless loop of music! The piece is a treat for your eyes and your ears!
Some of Yagi’s other pieces use CDs to make beautiful, abstract geometric designs. He also visually improves the cassette tape by replacing its round centres with squares and triangles!
He also created a pottery wheel out of an old record player and made a record of ice that you can actually play!
